Proverbs 11:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout; which would not adorn the swine, but only be disparaged itself. It was the custom of some of the Jews to wear jewels upon their noses, and some of their neighbours wore them in their noses. Which is without discretion; which disgraceth the beauty of her body by a foolish and filthy soul.

Proverbs 11:22

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is withoutf discretion.
